Adjust the spring tension?!

I'll be honest. I'm moving the gear up into the attic as I'm putting a dedicated room in up there and when I took the table off the wall mount I cleaned it. While doing it I noticed the bottom cover was sagging, so I took it off to reverse it. This was the first time in 19 years I have ever done so. Not only did I not ever consider the springs, I didn't know adjusting the tension was possible or done. In any case I would not have screwed around with it.

I have always gone to great lengths to remove mold release and clean ever record on a machine. I also set the table up dead perfect. But beyond that, I have done nothing. I consider what I'm getting to be quite good. I consider cleaning the vinyl and proper setup 85% of the battle. It's only now I'm worrying over the last 15%. : )

The bouncy-ness of this platter has bothered me for years however, even though it does stay put when playing on the wall mount. But record clamps I tried did not work with it thus precluding their benefit and for what it would cost to replace the arm and motor I think it would be better to go with modern technology.

Thanks for the input.
